MySpace takes at least 3-4 clicks to get to the photos. Login>View Friends>View Profile>View Photos. (If you don't get an error.) And you could have done all that clicking to find that your friend didn't even have new pictures up. As apposed to seeing thumbnails of the images as soon as you login Facebook. But hey, if it boosts revenue for them, all the best to MyS.

They have loads of traffic and their revenues are pretty respectable, but they're losing boat loads of money. If you're a user or a client, you need to be concerned. Businesses which lose as much money as MySpace is don't stand pat. Some of the changes may be for the positive and for that we should all be thankful. But the fear is that the changes that they'll need to make in order to turn red into black ink are changes that users and/or clients won't want to see. Allowing users to upload 300 rather than 10 photos should increase both revenues and expenses. Hopefully it will increase revenues more than expenses. But these are incremental steps and they need to make significant steps quickly. It should be interesting to watch. There are a lot of smart people there who are well aware of these issues.

The 300 will probably do very well in the theaters, at least among the graphic novel crowd. Not that MySpace is suffering... Kudos to Murdoch and the boys.
